I don't think you can actually overfill a car with antifreeze. There is an overflow chamber that prevents this. Perhaps this overflow can be overfilled but in that case the worst thing that can happen is the little plastic cover pops off and you get some excess antifreeze on the ground.
It might also depend on the car. when car gets hot it will push coolant to reservoir (expansion) and when cold, into radiator. this is the function of the rad. cap....if u overfill reservoir it will only leak out of fill cap to the grd

What if you put too much antifreeze into your car?
A car's cooling system is designed to contain a certain amount of fluid. With too much in the system, the fluid will expand after reaching high temperatures and you might see a puddle of antifreeze. Don't worry, the puddle is due to the overfill Make sure to check your overflow reservoir after you shut off your car. Make sure that there is still some fluid left in it.

Can you open a hot radiator while the engine is running?
Absolutely not. If the radiator is hot it will explode antifreeze and give u severe burns. Now if you need to put water in it or antifreeze u can open up the overfill tank anytime. The overfill tank is a plastic tank on the side of the vehicle. Now some cars don't have overfill tanks. Take a Crown vic for example, their radiator IS a plastic chamber with a plastic cap which tells you, do not open when hot.Overfill tanks are plastic tanksNot all plastic tanks or overfill tanks.
